I guess you are still Good but with the Evil subtype, nice mess. :mad:

Evil Subtype: A subtype usually applied only to outsiders native to the evil-aligned Outer Planes. Evil outsiders are also called fiends. Most creatures that have this subtype also have evil alignments; however, if their alignments change, they still retain the subtype. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has an evil alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A creature with the evil subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields were evil-aligned (see Damage Reduction, above).

The alignment subtype rules already explicitly cater for creatures with an alignment that differs from the subtype.

What mess?

For me it's a mess enough. Every time there's a spell or something which affects Good and Evil creature differently, I would have to waste time to be careful of the exact wording whether e.g. it "affects Evil creatures" or "doesn't affect Good creatures". Sometimes the description may imply that a spell/item would have two opposite effects on that character.

It's an unnecessary little complication, but more importantly, it really sucks.
